Parrot Intermediate Representation (PIR) is the core language for writing extensions, modules, tools, compiler transformations, and more for Parrot. While the syntax is quite simple, the power it gives you will be familiar to anyone who has worked with a dynamic language like Perl. This talk will walk you through the basics, and on to a level where you'll be prepared to handle advanced uses. The handouts will include a set of programming exercises in PIR. A hacking BOF will follow in the evening to work on the exercises (and other Parrot code).
